The way they sometimes sneak a look at mc's lips makes me feel things y'all 🫠💕
And i-i…
MC does this thing of poking the corner of Xavier's mouth whenever he looks upset and it means the world to me
Now imagine every reincarnation of MC does this, and each time she does it Xavier just smiles bittersweetly hahahahahah do you hear my heart shattering into pieces

What if MC looked different from her past lives, will he connect the dots?
Xavier x MC [A03 link]
Prompt from @nobodys-saviour: "If MC didnt look the same as her other lives do you think they’d still recognise her. [Would] Xavier?" [x].

Xavier did not make a habit of making strong connections in his various "lives" he'd lived on Earth. The less he knew about mild acquaintances, the less there was to remember, making it easier to focus on more important things and details. Thus, his opinion of his new colleague was varied at best.

My speculations on what the primary conflict is going to be for each of the guys' stories.

I get the feeling that Xavier is honestly trying his best to keep his distance from MC? Even in his myths.
He's trying to manage being a leader, getting his people back to their world, getting back to her side in the future, trying to stop the world from ending...
I feel like if they do get together in this time period, he has some walls to let down, he ever lets go of holding back, it's going to be after he accepts that he's just going to stay in whatever time period he's in. Things have to settle down in his mind or he's going to have some kind of mental "well I might as well enjoy things while I can."
I kinda feel like the tender moments where they're together are at some point in a future when he's just given in and either A. fixed enough problems to feel like he can relax or B. just accepted that he can't not be with her in spite of it all.
(I've also noticed that the cards where it's clear they're together is honestly very few. I have almost all his cards and in comparison to the other boys, the cards where it's clear you're on a date versus coincidentally running into each other or meeting up casually is far fewer).
I'm probably reading into it too much but I wonder if he thinks it's not fair(?) to want to be with her if he feels he'll really get back to his "truer" timeline or whatever world him and his people are trying to get back to through the Deepspace portal. Like I wonder if he's thinking it might break her heart, or that he can't bear getting closer to her just to leave her again? (Cause it's always already been several times that he's had to).
But she's so close, she's so close in his reach. And I think maybe there's just times he loses it a little bit and that's why I headcanon his cards are a bit spicier. Either from being at that point of acceptance "fine I'm staying with her" or just, the hundreds of years of yearning is too strong.
